How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Lana at Honeysuckle Lane is hosting a guessing game on her wonderful blog. Go see what fun this is. It is called Simple Joy's Paperie. What is harder is predicting indirect effects. His example was the automobile. He argued that it had a substantial effect on sexual behavior by giving couples a place to make love out of sight of parents. I am not sure how convincing that example is, but it occurs to me that we have another and clearer one. Did it occur to anyone, ten or fifteen years ago, that one effect of the development of cell phone technology would be, by providing practically everyone with a pocket video camera, to greatly increase public opposition to police beating people up? The closest I can think of is in David Brin's Transparent Society, where he argued that, in a future where everything is subject to surveillance, the transparency ought to go in both directions: The police can watch us, but we can also watch them. I do not think it occurred to him how we would get there or that the essential change would be not in what you could see but in what you could record and offer for public view. P. S. I have created a new Web petition "Transparency and Openness in Electronic Patient Records and Other Healthcare Information Technology Systems. "It is at WEBPETITIONS. We believe that patients and clinicians have a right to knowledge of healthcare information technology problems and defects that can distract clinicians and/or reduce clinician effectiveness and productivity. We believe that only through transparency about healthcare information technology can medical ethics be maintained, the rights of patients to the best possible care be protected and medical science advanced. Therefore, we call for such clauses to be refused by governance bodies, vendors of healthcare information technology to refrain from including such clauses in their contracts, and the U. S. Congress to prohibit nondisclosure clauses related to medical devices and healthcare information technology.

Furthermore, retaliatory actions against those who in good faith report such matters or incidents should be prohibited.

"Researchers say projections of summer ice disappearing entirely within the next few years increasingly look wrong. A web page produced by NASA/JPL claimed that the latest data showed it continuing to decrease. The actual data, available on the web from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, showed that the decline had reversed, at least temporarily, about two years earlier. That was somewhat over a year ago. One way in which a legal system discourages people from doing things that inflict costs on others is by fining them. Roughly speaking, there are two alternative approaches.

Under criminal law, the fine goes to the state.

Under civil law, it is called a damage payment and goes to the victim. One interesting feature of the analysis is that the straightforward argument based on justice gives the opposite answer from the straightforward argument based on economic efficiency. Indeed, the standard rule in tort law is that the damage owed are enough to "make whole" the victim. For many, although not all, cases the argument from efficiency goes just the other way. The reason is that, even if the victim is not morally responsible for the loss, in most cases he makes decisions that affect how likely it is to occur and how large it is if it occurs. There is nothing inherently immoral about driving an expensive car, but the more expensive your car is, the larger the damages if my negligent driving results in my running into it. There is nothing inherently immoral about walking after dark in bad neighborhoods, but doing so can substantially increase the chance of being a crime victim. Tweet Rocks may be divided into three broad groups as igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. feed. entry. length. Good morning! I hope everybody had a great weekend. It was an extra long one for me and I was lucky enough to go away for it! We just hung out at the pool and relaxed all weekend long. Then that pesky ol' hurricane decided to pay a visit to Florida on Monday so my little trip got a tiny bit cut off but it was still great. I just got this fabby new paper by Authentique from the Ribbon Carousel a couple of days ago. Ohhhhhh and I was lucky enough to go the My Favorite Things store this past weekend and I bought lots of great goodies. Let me tell you, what a cute store Ms. Well that’s Christmas over for another year. Mine was pretty reasonable, I find they get calmer and less self indulgent as I get older. Mind you it’s nice to have the freedom to celebrate, even if you don’t actually believe in the underlying basis of the event. I prefer to think of it in older pagan terms, the passing of the winter solstice & all that. Even though I personally have no regard for christianity I can’t help feeling that some christians are a bit hard done by. Such as these unfortunates who chose to celebrate Christmas in that jolly muslim country, Saudi Arabia.

Well it's now less than a month till the supposed end of the world and I'm going to repeat a suggestion that could just enable you to make a lot of money, though it would take a certain level of cold hard heartedness.

Find yourself a deluded gullible fool who really believes that the world is ending next month. What has he got to lose?. Another big question mark over medicalising asymptomatic people, and another nail in the coffin of the polypill. As with all Kingfisher and PowerFLIGHT training, speedwork at the track is always highly anticipated and one of the start attractions of the programs. It always bring an air of excitement whenever we visit the Serangoon Stadium, home of our track training. Because of the size of our group, the caretaker and fellow runners would always sense our presence and in a way, everyone enjoys the motivation of running with many different groups, all giving one another the extra push to go that much faster and stronger. While waiting for the rest of the Kingfishers to arrive, the earlier group were served a warm-up cocktail of some easy laps and running drills just to get things started. This batch of Kingfishers have done some groundwork and seemed to be quite prepared for the track dishes, and soon Part A was consumed in good form. Kravin Glass For all those high rollers out there. KRAVIN GLASS makes the most beautiful and professionally blown glass pipes, bongs, bubblers, sherlocks, the whole "shabang", but if you ever hope of getting your hands on one of these pieces of glass artwork, your gonna have to have a.

When I removed the original engine I detached it from the bellhousing in the car and removed the clutch pressure plate bolts through the starter motor hole - see my other post for details. In this case I decided to remove the clutch fork pivot shaft bolt. It'll feel like its hooking on something. That something is the clutch fork pivot shaft inside the bellhousing. The pivot shaft needs to be extracted from the clutch fork.

I went to a wonderful conference yesterday: Belgrave Heights Women's Convention.

So I left them in his hands without worrying.

I came home to find dinner started, the house pretty tidy, the children bathed and in their pyjamas ready for bed. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to show for my day. Clearing the table for dinner. Washing the clothes. My Mum always said if you tell your kids how horrible teenagers are, they'll live up to it. She expected my brother and me to be human and likeable teenagers. We had our moments, but mostly we were. So here's a book I've added to my wistful wishlist: Brett and Alex Harris' Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion against Low Expectations. It's a book by teens and for teens, about God's purpose for teenagers. I'll also be checking out their blog, The Rebelution. For parents of teenagers, here's a book with a similar message: Paul David Tripp's Age of Opportunity: A Biblical Guide for Parenting Teens.

Pharaoh’s princes saw Sarai as something worthy of the
Pharaoh and perhaps were too afraid of his wrath to steal her for themselves
but thought to use her as a way of gaining his favor.

Abram, thought of as her
brother, was treated very well and made wealthier for his supposed sister being
part of the Pharaoh’s harem. But, God plagued Pharaoh and his house for this
action, thereby saving Sarai from suffering the humiliation, the unfinished
murder of being forced sexually against one’s will. Here, Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, God in the flesh,
contradicts the Jewish understanding of the following passages from the Old
Testament and the event itself. This event and these passages
pointed, like many others, to the presence of Jesus Christ on the earth,
offering salvation to the Jews and then, to all mankind. He offered the reality
of God. The spindle winds the wool and the distaff prevents it from getting tangled up as I understand it. The virtuous woman or wife applies herself to that work diligently. Of course, we buy most of our garments at a store these days. But, there was a time not long ago when many families made their own clothing. A representation for the church might be that the church doesn’t regard its work as demeaning. I learned a lot about. I borrowed my copy from The Younger Son, who had not brought the dust jacket with him. This plot description and the photo above are from Wikipedia:The Night Circus is a phantasmagorical fairy tale set near an ahistorical Victorian London in a wandering magical circus that is open only from sunset to sunrise. The circus serves a darker purpose beyond entertainment and profit. A Somebody That I Used To Know parody:
that proves some people never understood that Obama was a moderate all along. The Republican candidate wouldn't have outlawed abortion, and most election year promises are like that: grandstanding. Do you know the story about the snake? Here it is:A man who was about to cross a river noticed a rattlesnake snake also trying to get across. The snake looked up and said, "Could you take me across the river? I'll drown by myself. " The man felt sorry for the snake but knew that rattlesnakes were poisonous. Well, I put it on top. Viddler. TCM has a short biography. FilmReference. If the character was a historical figure, he would read every available book on the subject. If the character required a certain dialect, he would rehearse into a recorder until he was satisfied with his accent. Once filming began he would remain in character between takes and even when he was off the studio lot. We believe we have met the challenge with this superb offering. This adapter will allow you to connect an old style Snow Plow to a quick hitch, mounted to the Model L or newer walk behind Gravely. This unit offered, has several value added features:The main parts have received Powder Coat Paint for a durable finish with stock colors of a close match to either gravely orange, gravely red or black. Notify us of your choice of color upon checkout. A push plate has been provided to provide support and remove any pressures of the plow on the quick hitch horn, thus, allowing the horn to just carry the weight of the attachment. This is done with an adjustable push bar mounted to the weldment, thus, transferring any rearward forces back against the quick hitch casting instead of a bending force on the horn. Thomas Cromwell has never been so famous. With the BBC's program on Cromwell given by Dr Diarmaid MacCulloch of Oxford University, this intense interest in Henry VIII's 'enforcer' has continued to develop, enhanced particularly by Hilary Mantel's sensationally successful trilogy, with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies achieving international acclaim. Yet Thomas Cromwell, while certainly formidably intelligent, cunning, and shrewd, is somewhat of an enigma.

But, as MacCulloch forcefully argues, it is he who the English people must thank for setting in place the initial processes which have led to the modern state of Britain as we know it today.

This was my last week of ramping back up from the marathon before jumping into workouts. At the same time, there's really no need to go much higher. I'm not training for a marathon, and I've certainly got a strong base from the last marathon training cycle that should persist for some time. This was my first full marathon recovery week. It looks like a lot, but it was really more about socializing than fitness.

I like doing yoga and pool-running the first few days after a marathon.

As for the yoga, I start off doing a very gentle version of the class - holding childs pose for anything that seems too strenuous. As days go by and I recover, I'm able to do more and more of the class. We all have our neuroses. I added in drills and strides after my easy runs during the middle of the week. After two pretty hard weeks in a row, it was about time for some recovery. I felt sluggish on Wednesday as well, but was surprised by the distance and pace. The runs were faster and further than I had planned - the hazards of running without looking at your watch until after the run. For both of these runs, the sluggish feeling didn’t appear to be affecting my paces, but I’d rather pull back from the brink of overreaching BEFORE it starts to slow me. It paid off, as by the weekend I was feeling refreshed, and closed out the weekend with a race that I was pretty happy with - it indicated that I’ve made progress in my efforts to run relaxed in a race situation. "I broke out into a cold sweat, my mouth became dry. After exchanging pleasantries, my wife informed me that “we are going to Beaumont Hills tonight to visit Dad’s friend.

Can you catch public transport and we will meet you there” Just to backtrack slightly, my father-in-law was staying with us for a few days having flown from BrisVegas to pay us a visit.

Anyway, a quick search revealed that it was close to Kellyville. Mike Davies Bearings has been a Master Distributor for Nachi for the. mikedaviesbearings. The river eventually departs to the right via a weir, and the canal continues on a narrow, shallow and bendy section.

The last lock in the run to Froghall has a plastic curtain in the exit, so you can judge whether your boat will make it through Froghall tunnel.

If the plastic catches, don’t even think about it! This was actually taken on the way back, after we had winded and stopped at Froghall for lunch. Today was made all the sweeter by the sequel to yesterday’s saga of the shower pump. .
